Hi mate thanks so much for sharing this! I have been out of UK past 33 years and shall be returning soon finally! I am looking forward to fishing my local gravel pit membership again :)I plan to start back fishing slowly again both by float fishing for silver fish for a season before hopefully moving onto Tench and maybe Carp in the same lake maybe a season after. I am very greatfull for these tips as its been so long!! Big Thanks mate:)

Matt I have been waiting for this video as your first one disappeared just as I was getting into it.I will make sure I dont lose this one, as a beginner I will highly reccomend this to all starting out. is there a DVD of this series to buy, it would be very good to watch and learn from it. A video well done.

Sorry about the below comment I meant to say Great video love Matt wish to I had seen this when I started fishing with my husband 8 years ago. I still cant land my fish using a net and my husband always helps I really do need to master this but really find keeping the fish on in one hand and getting the net in position to get it really awkward. Any videos on this technique I can catch them no problem!

Great video

Wish I seen this when I first started 3 weeks ago. Very informative mate.

Thanks simple and helpful

A controlled Underarm Lob or flick is also effective & more desirable when fishing in the Margins. Same easy action as Matt has shown, except Underarm.

Float fishing for commercial carp you can change your weights. I used to set up a swan shot 3 inches from the hook and then spread the rest up the line. This way you can spot bites two ways. float goes under or lifts out. creates a lighter version of a bolt rig too and aids setting the hook.

very useful, thank you
-
thank you matt , where can we buy this rod ?
-
How to adjust the line if the water is deeper than the length of the rod, to hit the bottom?

Miss the guy man :( haven't seen him about in agers

I need someone’s help I went fishing tonight and really struggled to cast further out. I could only get it a couple metres out. When I made it heavier to cast further the float was just sinking? Pleaaaase advise thank you
-
one thing. the weights needed to weigh down a float are written on the side of the float now are they the weights placed directly either side of the float or is it the total weight including the smaller weights down towards the hook? thanks
-
so what shotting pattern should I use if im using a sliding waggler?
-
I bought the carp rod combo and it’s amazing but then I watch this video and he’s saying not to have thick bouncy line... but the rod comes with thick bouncy line... Matt what you saying
-
I needed to know what hooks and how to tie them
